A Moment Like You (The Baker’s Creek Billionaire Brothers #2) - Claudia Burgoa Page 0,59

this to last, to be meaningful for both of us.

“I like you on top, but…” I flip her onto her back. “I want to love you slowly, deeply, and sweetly.”

I push myself deeper, filling her. And it’s as if suddenly my entire life makes sense. The doubts and fears I harbored about us disappeared. My existence has one purpose, her.

Our eyes meet wildly as I pull myself out and then sink myself inside her so slowly I’m teetering on the edge but not falling. Not yet because when I do, I want to do it with her.

Driving into her, surrendering myself, it hits me how scary life has become. For the first time, I have something worth loving, and I would die if I lose her. I swear in this moment, when my breath becomes shallow and she’s tightening around me milking my cock, that I know I’ll do anything and everything for her, for an ounce of her love, for her heart. For this miracle to stay right by my side.

Her manicured fingers dig in my back, and I drink her orgasm as I kiss her while I pulse inside her.

“I love you,” I declare with conviction.

“I love you too,” she says, claiming my mouth while my entire body explodes with love.

Sophia

If anyone had told me that I’d be waking up in the arms of Henry Aldridge for two days in a row, I’d have laughed. This man has a strict policy of no sleepovers. Yet, here I am, right beside him, observing him. Studying every inch of his skin.

I feel like a perv as I watch him sleep with the sheet barely covering his taut naked body. For the past three years, he’s being my constant. He’s a part of my life, and yet, being with him feels totally new.

I guess the difference is that now we can kiss each other whenever we want. I can reach out and touch the ridge of his muscles while he’s asleep, and it’s totally acceptable.

“Morning,” he says as he stretches and extends his arms, pulling me closer to him. “You’re so perfect. How did I get so lucky?”

“Lucky?”

“Of all the men that have come into your life, I’m the one allowed to kiss you,” he says, opening my legs with his knees and sliding his hand between them. “Already wet, Ms. Aragon. I think I like this arrangement.”

“We have an arrangement?”

He nuzzles my hair and exhales slowly. “Yes. You let me love you in exchange for unlimited fucking.”

I laugh. “Is that so?”

“Uh-huh,” he answers, finally opening his green piercing eyes which stare at me deeply as he guides his shaft right into my entrance. “I wish we could stay here forever. I don’t want to ever let you go.”

With that, he enters me gently, molding his body to mine. We move at the same slow rhythm, relishing each other. The five times we’ve made love he’s done it so slowly, gliding as if I was fragile and he’s afraid to break me. As I grind under him, I wonder more about us. I’ve been in love before. He’s not the first person I’ve felt something more than lust with, but with him, the feeling is so much more powerful.

I freeze when I think what if my “once in a lifetime, the man I’m destined to love forever” is him? But what if destiny won’t allow us to stay together forever? Or is this the right timing and that’s why this is happening?

I wish our love was real, possible, and limitless. But even when I’m leading with an open heart, I’m scared. I’ve been left behind one too many times.

“Don’t disappear on me, Soph,” he pleads. “What’s happening, gorgeous?”

“This feels surreal,” I confess. “Don’t get me wrong, I love it, but what if it’s just like a summer fling?”

“I can’t promise you more than giving you one day at a time for the next hundred years.”

He lowers his face, pressing his lips against mine. His warm breath caresses my neck while his mouth devours me. My heart pounds so hard in my chest as if trying to jump out of my body and become part of Henry. This is the first time since we’ve been together that he’s driving himself hard and deep with a force that makes me weak. This endless sensation—being overtaken by release and his grunts, being joined so completely, taken to a place where we become one person in a world where nobody exists—is the best feeling I’ve
